乘着风，我走的比云更远 ，比山更高。Riding the wind, I go further than clouds, higher than mountains.

March for science

Not quite promptly at six o’clock on Saturday morning, two dozen scientists whose fields of study can’t be summarized in a sentence boarded a bus at the Institute for Advanced Study, in Princeton, New Jersey, and headed south, bound for the March for Science, in Washington, D.C. “I hope it doesn’t rain,” Ed Witten, the first and only theoretical physicist ever to win the Fields Medal, the Academy Award of mathematics, said. Witten, who is in his sixties, is tall even when seated and speaks in a measured, almost sheepish tone. He was reading a book about the First World War on his Kindle, a device that, he conceded, he hadn’t yet mastered. The sky, still pale, was cloudy, and the forecast did indeed call for rain.

About me

I am a researcher in the field of computational social science, using online data to question various social issues.

By dumping and parsing Wikipedia datasets in different languages, I apply the methods of data mining and data visualization to explore the collective research project ‘Mapping a World in Wikipedia’ in an interdisciplinary laboratory at the EPFL.

Aside from research work, I am a street photographer and swing dancer.
